You gotta take a looky at Dena’s latest creation.. I swiped it even before it got to her BLOG.. WOOOHOOO!
Dena used the gorgeous BELIEVE TREE by Valentina Ramos.. I am trying to show people how AMAZING a stamp can be on a layout.. How PERFECT it can fit and match the paper! A stamp is the PERFECT embellishment on a scrapbook page because you can ink it in any colour you would like to match the rest of your page!
you’ll see the shipping tag poking out on the left.. and a portion of our “I AM SCRIPT”.. GORGEOUS!!
Portions of I AM script used again
Dena used the MARTHA STEWART MONARCH BUTTERFLY PUNCH and the MARTHA STEWART 3 in 1 BUTTERFLY PUNCH she also stamped the MAYA ROAD CHIPBOARD LETTERS with the SCRIPT STAMP!
I was so proud when I saw Dena BEAMING at me while she was showing it to me..LOL. She is one of the BESTEST scrapbookers out there I must say.
Mwah to da sistahs who LOVEY da BELIEVE tree

Hiya sistahs!
Just wanted to show you a canvas I dabbled with last night. I love spray inks. and I mean LOVE spray inks.. and so does Jayden..LOL. Every night we go into our disaster basement and just paint and spray and journal. She asked me yesterday “mommy, is painting good for you?”.. I said “do you feel better after you paint?” she said “yes!” so I said “then YES! it IS good for you!”.. LOL so cute
So here is the 1st of 3 canvases in this “series”.. LOL can’t believe I just said that. This style is inspired by Dina Wakley.. I just love her and her “graffiti” style.. she is awesome. I have taken 3 of her classes and loved EVERY one of them!

Sistahs,
I hope you had a great weekend! Be sure to become a fan/friend on facebook so you can keep up with my daily antics and ramblings (look at me expecting that you need this information..LOL).. I took the kids to a farm yesterday.. we basically left before we got there…not much to do. We looked at the corn maze and the three of us were PETRIFIED to get lost or stuck in there, so we didn’t go in… we then ambled around, fed some goats that Jayden wanted to run away from (LOL.. why do I do this to myself??) and then we spotted a french fry truck which was the HIGHLIGHT of the farm experience.. LOL. WHY IS IT THAT A TRUCK WITH NO RUNNING WATER CAN MAKE THE BEST FRENCH FRIES EVAH??? it just doesnt make any sense to me at all! OMG were they good… sinful.. gorgeous… perfect… hmph. I love food.
OK so without further ADO let’s talk winnahs.. of who is now officially a bellarific baberooni… I was SO not jealous of the other babes’ jobs picking da winnahs.. it was 4 weeks of pure hell..LOL.. Hell because the entries were SO amazing and I don’t want anyone to lose their momentum and to keep on submitting! I am so glad I gave the babes that job because I would have 567,897 babes on the team right now..LOL.
So here goes. I was advised that because the votes were so close, that we opened up 3 spots! LOL. And again, please believe me when I say that EVERY, SINGLE, ENTRY was phenom!

It was a rainy weekend so we played games, made some art and watched lots o’ TV.. that’s MY type of weekend! LOL. I am reading a book that is somewhat good but have you evah read a book where you really are not so into it and have to re read pages to remember what has been going on the last time you picked it up? That’s kinda what I am going through with the book I am currently reading called “THE RELIABLE WIFE”. While I am enjoying it, I am kind of looking forward to my next book..LOL. I am reading my books on my KOBO and I just love it.. it is thin, portable, has a gorgeous CASE (i am obssessed with cases and storage..LOL) and the battery life is long.. I love that little machine! This is the SKIN I got for it.. so funky and colorful! I also got a leather one in pink.. cuz I need more cases..hmph . This is the one I got but it’s in BRIGHT PINK
